  My introduction to JPEG-XL was by 2kliksphillip on YouTube, he has a few really good analyses on this topic, including this video: https://youtu.be/FlWjf8asI4Y

  The final piece of the JPEG XL puzzle!

    It's a huge piece for sure, but not the only one. For example, Firefox and Windows both don't support it out of the box currently. Firefox requires nightly or an extension, and on Windows you need to download support from the Microsoft store.

      Would PDF 2.0 (which also depends JPEG XL and Brotli) put pressure on Firefox and Windows to add more easy to use support?

        I don't think so: JPEG 2000, as far as I know, isn't generally supported for web use in web browsers, but it is supported in PDF.
